The reason why Lop Nur did not dry up in this era is that it has at least four or more rivers that flow into Lop Nur from the south and west sides, but in later generations, these rivers have been completely cut off, and in fact, these rivers in this era are basically about to stop flowing.

But it still hasn't stopped, and although the flow is small, it's still there.

However, if Huo Gang chooses so, it means that the situation near Lop Nur will completely change.

For so many years, the area of Lop Nur has been decreasing, because the amount of water it injects is far lower than the amount of evaporation, if it was not for its large area, it is estimated that it would have been gone for a long time, and the current Loulan is no longer the earlier Loulan.

The development of the northern section of the Silk Road has led to a decrease in the number of caravans from the southern section of Loulan year by year, so Loulan is no longer prosperous, but even if it is not prosperous, the entire ancient city of Loulan is almost close to 30,000 people.

For Huo Gang, if he takes the opportunity to take Loulan, this is a good choice.

Soon, Huo Gang made a decision in his heart, what the Spirit of the Jade Gate said, the follow-up impact of Huo Gang's choice to create the river, he didn't know what was going on, but it didn't affect Huo Gang's use of this matter to achieve his own goals.

If this matter is used well, not to mention Loulan, even all these Turks from the Tongluo tribe will be difficult to betray in the future!

Because in the eyes of others, all this was done by Huo Gang!

And such a thing, in this era, Huo Gang said before that he was the incarnation of Immortality, and he was the incarnation of Immortality!

Putting this down for the time being, Huo Gang turned his attention to the next two rewards.

The second reward is that there are two proven mineral deposits, and he can choose the main types of ore deposits independently, and when Huo Gang focused his attention, he figured out what this meant, that is, Huo Gang can choose the main types of minerals among the minerals he has in his territory, such as iron ore.

Then he will be given iron ore, of course, it does not mean that iron ore is only iron ore, even if Huo Gang is not a related professional, he also knows that any metal mine will have associated ore, if Huo Gang chooses iron ore, then the main mine of this deposit is iron ore.

As for the associated minerals such as copper, cobalt, and sulfur, they are only ancillary.

This Huo Gang can decide now, there is nothing to choose in this era, and it is impossible for him to choose a gold mine for Huo Gang, so Huo Gang's first choice is iron ore, and the second choice is coal mine.

These two things can be said to be necessary for Huo Gang at present.

When Huo Gang chosen, this time it was different from the first limestone mine, this time the Spirit of the Jade Gate directly marked the two deposits on the thumbnail of Huo Gang's territory.

Seeing these two marked locations, Huo Gang couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew.

These two deposits are in the vicinity of the country of Yiwu, that is, the vicinity of the later Hami, to speak...... Is this a reward? Because Huo Gang knew that there was a coal mine near Hami, and it was an open-pit coal mine.

Both of these mines are located in the southeast of Igo Province, and the coal mine is very close to Igo Province, while the iron mine is slightly further away.

But for the time being, Huo Gang can't reach it.

Okay, at least theoretically, these places are now Huo Gang's territory, so this problem will have to be solved sooner or later, at least now that the spirit of the Jade Gate is marked, Huo Gang doesn't need to find someone to detect.

Although he knew that there was one near Hami, he didn't know the specific location, and now he didn't have to prospect.

As for the third option, Huo Gang, the personal guard cavalry, doesn't need to ask, just like Huo Zheng and them, it can be directly handed over to Huo Zheng to lead when the time comes. And this infantry ...... Huo Gang focused his attention and understood what it meant to make an independent choice.

Like the river above, Huo Gang was given two options.

The first Han elite infantry is trapped in the camp! The second largest Han elite infantry tiger ben!

The first Huo Gang heard that the trapping camp led by Gao Shun during the Three Kingdoms period, the sentence of trapping, whether there is death or life, is still very famous.

To be honest, these two Huo Gang had some hesitation, and the trapping camp was famous, although Huo Gang didn't know how bullish the trapping camp was in real history, but from the white horse righteousness, Xiliang Tieqi Huo Gang knew that it would definitely not be bad!

Although the tiger ben is not famous, the tiger ben of the tiger army originated from the Han Dynasty has been stretched for two thousand years, and there is a tiger ben in modern times, and it can be seen from this point that the tiger ben has always been synonymous with elite.

Huo Gang wants both!

The problem is that this thing really can't be half done by one person, Huo Gang can only choose one.

After hesitating for a moment, Huo Gang finally put this problem aside for the time being, first of all, he will not recruit these troops at present, and he will have to eat when he is summoned, and Huo Gang now has more than a few thousand people to feed, according to the spirit of the Jade Gate, Huo Gang's current population has exceeded 100,000 people!

In other words, with the surrender of the Luo Ministry, the Spirit of the Jade Gate surrendered by default along with the tribes to which the Luo Bu belonged, but obviously, Huo Gang was not recognized by these people at all now.

At the beginning, he was recognized by more than 1,000 people, but he was given 1,000 white horses.

If you get 100,000 approvals, you can't give yourself 100,000 white horses?

To tell the truth, if there were really 100,000 white horse righteous followers, Huo Gang would dare to even dare to scare the Tang Dynasty now.

But he didn't have the logistics to feed such a large population.

Now with these 100,000 people, Huo Gang's next plan is to take Yiwu and Loulan, if these two countries are taken together, the population under Huo Gang will be 50,000 more.

For the time being, even if Huo Gang summons all these 5,000 troops, it means that they can be fed.

1,000 personal guard cavalry, 1,000 white horse righteous servants, 1,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, 3,000 elite infantry, to be honest, this is put in these countries in the Western Regions, Huo Gang's strength can be regarded as the strongest.

Because these are elite!

Weapons and equipment alone are a huge crush.

"General!" When Huo Gang was thinking, Huo Zheng's voice came from outside.

"Come in." Huo Gang withdrew his thoughts and spoke.

Huo Zheng immediately lifted the curtain from outside and walked in, "Hang the curtain." Huo Gang pointed to the door.

There was no glass in this era, and the felt tents of the Turks were somewhat similar to the yurts of later generations, the only difference being that they were not round for the time being. The huge felt tent is made of wood and other supports, but there is almost no place for lighting, so a layer of leather can be directly lifted during the day to let in light, that is, this thing is in the open air.

But even so, the light in the room is still not very bright.

Huo Zheng hung up the curtain at the door of the felt tent, then walked in and bent down and hugged his fists and said, "General Qiyu, the army has been stationed, and the surrounding area has been investigated, there is no problem." ”
